The great thing is

no matter how high LaMarcus gets on this list, Bulls fans can still be ecstatic that Pax got Tyrus instead. I LOVE LUCK!

ouch

That one will never be forgotten, but if you consider all the management decisions that’s made up the current team, I forgive.

Great to see LOUL get some love! I think that’s exactly where he fits. He’s rarely dominant offensively, but always can be counted on 4 solid quarters of some of everything that leaves a huge imprint on the game.

well, I guess I could have spelled his name right atleast. :P

i think yao

refers to the theory that pax choosing tyrus over lma (or trading lma for him) lead (indirectly) to the rose 1.7% ping pong ball. and that no tyrus for lma would also mean no rose.

since rose is atop the list, and aldridge doesn’t figure to ever truly challenge for an mvp (his 8.8 reb in nearly 40 min this year is almost as good as amare “terrible rebounder” stoudemire’s career of 8.9 in < 35min), so… it’s great?

scalabrine runs everything. fuck scalabrine!

he's been the second best player on the top team in the east.

if he’s ever going to get credit it’s this year.

I wouldn't say 2nd best player

But he hasn’t been injured and has developed his game as the season went along to become more valuable so he has been our 2nd MVPest player in that regard.

For the record, Noah and boozer if healthy for entire seasons are more valuable
IMO

Nice

Boozer can't play defense. He couldn't guard a gym bag even if he tried..
Oh wait, he did try & broke a hand.

Well, we now know Tyger's name in real life: Steve Aschburner

I didn't want to type this sentence, the force from an Omer Asik dunk made my fingers do it.

I love Luol Deng.

In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).

Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.

We know you do, Steve

I didn't want to type this sentence, the force from an Omer Asik dunk made my fingers do it.

Al Jefferson also got an "Honorable Mention"

just sayin’

by drock8686 on Mar 20, 2011 4:29 PM CDT reply actions

Yeah I think Deng's clearly at least as deserving as Big Al

Pat Riley is the devil.

by Poloplaya14 on Mar 20, 2011 7:04 PM CDT up reply actions

Also Melo and Pau they haven’t been that impressive this season.

Maybe the deng haters will finally realise they have a deep psychosis and accept that:

Luol Deng IS A GOOD PLAYER. Maybe even a top 30 talent.

Rodman is the best.

by Rodman4eva on Mar 20, 2011 7:06 PM CDT reply actions 6 recs

Def. a top 30 talent.

Most consistent Bull this year!

My reflex was to argue with you

then I realized that you’re right.

by runningman on Mar 21, 2011 2:02 PM CDT up reply actions

Nope, he's wrong.

Keith Bogans has been consistently bad.

Bogans' recent few games have ruined his consistency.

Actually Rose's numbers have fallen off

in the last two months. That’s what I was originally going to argue, but Deng has been more consistent. Rose has been better, but Deng has given the same thing month after month.
